In all fairness, Maddie wrote very sweet notes to each of her teachers as well... I'm proud of them both... but Matthew's poems... I mean WOW!
Always
there with a smile
Like
a true philosopher, only with wit
Very
entertaining to sit through
Is
there anyone who can replace you?
So
wonderful you are!
Zany, and yet
Amazing at the same time
Very accomplished lit geek (yeah!)
In every genre known to man
To say you stink is to say that
Zebras
don’t have stripes
To have you as
my teacher
Right by my side
all the time
Oh, what fun
it’s been!
Teaching me
about
Trees and why
they
Exist the way
they do. I
Really can’t say
enough good about you
Really, you’re
great
A bit of
linguistic love in my day
Going the extra
mile to make sure we succeed
As always, you
gave us what we needed
In joy and in
pain
Never giving up
on me
So with this
gift, once again, je vous aime! Merci!
Finding
out what works
Often
being right (what a huge perk)
Straining
to give us your best
Today,
at last, you get your rest
Everything
you’ve done this year is great, but
Really,
the next season’s here! Band ten hut!
Really
awesome wonders abound
Under
all the sarcasm of which you’re so proud
So
gentle and yet brash at the same time
Such
an exquisite mix of personalities divine
Every
last fact of which you can think
Licks
any printer of all its ink
Like
water, history is good to drink
